Positive Affirmations

During these challenging and uncertain times it is important to remain hopeful. Positive affirmations are statements you tell yourself every day. These feel-good statements help promote wellness, self-esteem and a positive mental attitude. Positive affirmations can be an effective strategy to help through troubling or stressful situations. Using positive phrases can also help overcome negative thinking patterns.

Even if you don’t believe the statement you’re saying is true, it can still help you overcome negative thoughts. The goal is that, eventually, these positive affirmations come naturally and applied without even really thinking about it. We all should practice positive self-talk. It's something that doesn't always come natural and kids need to be taught how to do this. Not only is the practice uplifting, but it provides a sense of calm when students read their own chosen positive affirmations to themselves.
